HC Deb 13 December 1972 vol 848 cc148-9W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement on his general policy concerning permission granted to, and investigation of, small building companies in so far as their financial resources are concerned when considering appeals by such companies in relation to building developments to be undertaken by them.

Mr. Graham Page

The financial resources of an applicant for planning permission are not normally material to the planning decision and are not therefore considered on appeal.
